The figure that used to appear here was an unsourced regional multiplier, and every state in the same region showed the same band. Ask the carrier for the rate. Sign-on bonuses are widely advertised in this market, but the amount, the qualifying period and the clawback terms differ by carrier — read the offer letter rather than the recruiting ad, and ask when the money actually lands.

Outbound loads from West Virginia typically move to distribution hubs in neighboring states, while inbound freight includes consumer goods, raw materials, and manufacturing inputs.
